It's August now. How did that happen? I welcomed August with a visit to Toronto with my mom. We visited lots of bookstores (this will be a future post) and saw the Newsies musical. I love the Newsies movie, but it is even so much more amazingly better as a live show. I highly recommend it! It's on tour - see if it's coming to a city near you! :)

My sister, my mom, and I saw Newsies in Orlando in January. It was probably the same tour. I did enjoy the energy of the live performance, but I was a little disappointed with some of the changes to the lyrics and the plot.

The plot changes didn't bother me too much, but I think that's partly because I had already bought the Broadway soundtrack, so I knew the changes were coming. If I wasn't pre-warned, I probably would have been a little upset! :) Even so, I loved the character of Katherine. She was a good addition!

My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
